Terrorist organization PKK makes statement on Turgut Özal

The terrorist organization PKK announced today that it had decided to lay down its arms and dissolve the organization following its 12th Congress, which it stated was held between May 5-7. In a written statement regarding the process, the organization claimed that the period of conflict and violence that has lasted for years has come to an end.

A striking remark in the statement released by the terrorist organization concerned Turkey's 8th President Turgut Özal. The statement alleged that in 1993, then-President Özal demonstrated the will to resolve the Kurdish issue through political means, but in response, the "deep state" intervened and "eliminated" Özal and his team.

The following statements were included in the announcement made by the separatist organization:

“In the conditions of the 1990s, when our resurrection revolution led to major developments for our people, the search for a political solution to the Kurdish issue by the President of the Republic of Turkey, Turgut Özal, developed. Leader APO responded to this search with the March 17, 1993 Ceasefire, initiating a new process. However, this new process was sabotaged as a result of the heavy effects of real socialism, the gang-like mentalities imposed on our war line, and the deep state eliminating Turgut Özal and his team, insisting on the policy of Kurdish denial and destruction, and escalating the war. Thousands of villages were evacuated and burned.”

“ÖZAL WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF THE PEACE PROCESS”

Turgut Özal's son, Ahmet Özal, has also claimed many times to date that his father did not die of natural causes, but was instead poisoned. In various television programs and interviews, Ahmet Özal had stated, “My father was taking important steps to ensure peace in Turkey. This process disturbed certain circles. My father was eliminated for this reason.”
